Expand Your Glass Firing Horizons with the Olympic Kilns 259GFE: Designed for Big Ideas
Designed for Exceptional Performance on Challenging Glass Work
The Olympic Kilns 259GFE is the ultimate solution for glass artists working on large or uniquely shaped projects. With its spacious firing chamber measuring 37″ wide by 25″ front-to-back by 9″ deep, this oval kiln offers the flexibility and capacity needed for complex glass fusing, forming, and heat-treating tasks. Unlike traditional cylindrical or square kilns, the 259GFE’s oval design accommodates oversized pieces or multiple items, providing a larger, non-standard firing area that allows you to bring your most ambitious ideas to life.
Precision Heating for Consistent Results
The 259GFE is equipped with advanced heating elements located in both the lid and the body of the kiln, ensuring even and precise heat distribution throughout the firing chamber. The lid element provides the radiant heat necessary during the fusing stage, while the body elements manage the ramping up, cooling down, and annealing processes. For added control, the kiln includes an infinite switch that lets you adjust the intensity of the lid element, giving you full command over the firing process. Whether you're working on delicate glass art or larger, more demanding pieces, the 259GFE adapts to your needs with ease.
Built for Durability and Ease of Use
Constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and supported by a sturdy 18″ tall metal stand, the 259GFE is built to endure the demands of continuous use in a professional studio. The kiln comes standard with the user-friendly Digital KilnStar controller, providing you with reliable and precise control over firing schedules. The KilnStar allows you to easily program and fine-tune your ramp-hold settings, ensuring consistent, perfect results every time. Additionally, the kiln's thoughtful design includes a pilot light for safety, peephole plugs for monitoring progress, and a detailed instruction manual for seamless setup and operation.
Upgrade Your Kiln with Customizable Options
For artists who want even more control, the 259GFE offers an upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller. The Genesis provides an intuitive, modern interface with expanded programming capabilities, making it easier to manage advanced firing profiles with greater precision. This optional upgrade adds an extra layer of convenience and customization for those seeking enhanced control over their firing process.
Optimize Your Firing Process with Tailored Accessories
Complete your kiln setup with a custom furniture kit tailored to your specific firing needs. The 259GFE furniture kit includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, ceramic paper, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash, ensuring that your glass pieces are evenly supported and properly heated during firing. Choose the standard kit or customize your own arrangement to suit your studio's unique requirements.
